Summer 2025 Interns
Community-Based Learning interns are partnered with a community organization over the summer to complete specific projects and initiatives. This experience aims to fulfill community partners' organizational goals and provide students with professional development and education about community organizing. CBL interns work twenty-five hours a week for seven weeks in the summer at a community-based organization and meet with their cohort once a week for training and reflection.
